Dports, Dsynth and Options

[Matthew Dillon]

If you are building the entire ports tree make sure you have the resources
lined up for it.  Some of the bigger ports, like chromium, requires tens of
gigabytes of memory to build.  So at the very least, we recommend at least
64GB of swap be configured.  Also usually requires a couple of incremental
runs after the main run is complete, since many ports have third-party make
concurrency issues and do not necessarily build the first time.

A dsynth everything takes a day on a thread-ripper.  A smaller machine
could take a week, or longer.  It is fairly resource intensive (ps
axlRH and systat -vm 1 is your friend).
